I need some recommendations for hardware for a set up as described below. Alternative hardware configurations can also be considered, given the objective of providing cam footage from the barn to the house.
-IP cams must have night vision capabilities with IR illuminators -IP cams must be weather sealed and durable -IP cams do not require sound mics -Barn Router will be shielded from rain but not heat, cold, humidity, etc. -Barn Router will not have unobstructed line of sight to the house because of metal barn wall. -Antenna (if separate exterior mount) for barn router can be mounted on the exterior but will be exposed to all elements (rain, high winds, snow, etc) -Span between barn and house is 150 ft direct line of sight with no obstructions -House router A can be inside, in a climate controlled environment -House router antenna (if separate exterior mount) can be mounted on the exterior but will be exposed to all elements (rain, high winds, snow, etc) -All hardware needs to be compatible

on your night vison requirement ..
i have learned that the ones that have the LEDS that light up red < visable light > work ok,, UNTIL you turn on a light in the area being viewed.,. then the video whites out due to the light.. on a good night the color is greenish. on cameras that have the IR leds that DONT give any visable light... suck as a stand alone .. BUT pair them with a light... even those energy saving spiral lights and every thing looks CLEAR and in black and white. thats all i have to add. if you have money to work with the above might not apply since i grabed from the bottom of the barrel to play with. here are some examples.. these one has IR led that light up.. on a DARK night it actually looks GREAT.. intruduce light into the pic and it washes out.. 
this one has IR leds that DONT light up and are WORTHLESS after 2 feet.. but its hard to believe but the light in this pic is just enought to find your keys if you hold them up .. i love this camera for this reason . in the pic it looks like there is a bright ass light on.. all I can think of is that they use a diffrent IR spectrum.. hope this helps in some way . 
edit if the pics dont show up i will rehost them and repost later tonight edit: ok rehosting is done. |
